I agree. I don't think Sumlin was looking to settle down in Orlando full-time.

Welcome to gotula.net, where it's never too late to mention Tanner Lee, Andy Cannizaro, Lindsey Scott Jr., Rich Rodriguez, David Pierce, or, of course, Scott Cowen. You see, no horse here is so dead that it cannot be beaten just a little bit more.

Wont happen. McKenzie Milton is only a sophomore with two full seasons left. No way Scott's going to sit. And they have two FR and two RS FR on their roster as well.

This may actually end up helping us. If he was interested in Mizzou because of the offense, he may not want to take a chance and sign with them without knowing what the new OCs philosophy is. And UCF doesn't need him.

UCF: Head coach Josh Heupel will earn $1.7 million annually (which would rank 7th among AAC head coaches) with a staff salary pool of $2.5 million. If he were to leave before their 2020 bowl game, Heupel would owe UCF a buyout of $10 million.

Looks like Tulane is slightly ahead of ECU, USF and UConn in salary. Temple doesn't report on this list, but their coach was making $1m as an asst at Florida before taking the job, so I'd imagine it's more than what WF's base salary is.

Incentives matter too. Apparently not included in this survey.

Regardless when WF was hired he was mid-range salary in AAC. Inflation from new hires over last two years has moved him down. If and when he wins, he will certainly get a raise and move back up that slippery pole.

That’s what happens when you’re happy about being average and shoot for mid-range. You get mid-range results and usually slip from there. It would be a nice if Tulane actually wanted to be at the top for a change.

And USF doesn’t really count due to Strong’s payments from Texas and how it impacted what USF needed to pay to bring him on board.
